MAIN LERENG (BICYCLE RIM)


This game was invented by children in the late 50s in Singapore with much energy to spare and little in finances. Nonetheless they were very innovative and found many ways to amuse themselves.


Method of Play

1. A bicycle rim (lereng) and a stick are used to play the game.

2. Two parallel lines are drawn 5metres apart, one marking the starting line, the other, the finishing.

3. The rim is held upright and when the signal is given to begin, it is thrust forward with the stick.

4. The player rolls it along with the stick, keeping the rim upright throughout until he reaches the finishing line.

5. The winner is the player who reaches the finishing line, first.

6. In team play, the game is played as a relay.
